Um
Anyway, don't
In 1927, De Broy wasn't really prepared to answer technical questions, and he kind of fumbled a bit in Solvay and apparently was kind of embarrassed.
Young guy, you can imagine, among the great physicists of the time.
You can imagine that Bohm, having just written an entire textbook on quantum theory, was in a much better position to see how to make this theory work and how it would work in.
in various well-known circumstances.
Um and so Bohm, again, within the course of a year, writes these, these, this two papers come out.
I think physical review, a suggested interpretation of quantum theory in terms of quote, hidden variables, parts one and two.
And now you have again a deterministic theory that
with no collapse of the wave function.
that makes all the same predictions as standard quantum theory.
And that's what we call again the pilot wave theory.
Sometimes people call it the Broy-Bohm theory.
They both certainly get credit.
uh pilot wave is a nice descriptive way of talking about it.
And it's a theory in which you have particles.
Part of the ontology is there are particles, which by which I mean particles, by which I mean little objects that always have positions that follow continuous trajectories, uh and therefore at all times have configurations.
So there's always a fact.
physical fact about what the configuration of a set of particles is.
And in this theory, the wave function is part of the theory.
